The Walrus Male is a humanoid walrus about Mayor Fink's height with lavender fur and magenta eyes. He has a large and round torso with stubby legs, thin arms, a medium-large head with no visible neck, and a wide muzzle with grey skin, short tusks and an orange snout. For attire, he wears a boater hat with a green grosgrain ribbon, white gloves, a Tyrian purple vest, green socks, and beige shoes. Sometimes, he uses a small cane.

In the Archie Comics, the Walrus Male has yellow fur, a much more peach muzzle and a white boater hat.

As the Walrus Male chatted with the Stratford, he and the villagers were rounded by Dr. Eggman when he invaded Seaside Island to face Eggman's Mega. Luckily, the Walrus Male and the villagers were saved when Knuckles made the Mega destroy itself with his current case of bad luck when he tried to join Eggman.[7] Following a visit at Meh Burger,[8] the Walrus Male found Eggman selling tomato sauce.[9] When Sonic ended up proving it was safe, the Walrus Male bought some cans of sauce for himself. A few weeks later though, he got attacked by his toaster which had been turned into a weapon by Eggman's sauce cans. Fortunately, he was saved from it after Team Sonic stopped Eggman.[9]

The Walrus Male at Chez Amy.

While the world was stuck in a time loop that Eggman created, the Walrus Male kept visiting Meh Burger until the loop was broken, since he retained no memory of the recurring events.[10] Regardless, he continued his trips to Meh Burger.[11][12] Eventually, the Walrus Male got entangled in the Battle of the Buns between Chez Amy and Meh Burger. Depending on their gimmicks, the Walrus Male would switch between these restaurants, before settling at Chez Amy until Eggman destroyed it.[13] The Walrus Male later saw Swifty the Shrew come to the Village and quickly began adoring the shrew's sweet-wise style. So when Swifty had a race with Sonic, which the latter lost and got banished from the Village as his penalty, the Walrus Male stood by Swifty all the way. However, he was betrayed by Swifty when Eggman revealed Swifty was his robot agent. As Swifty robots ravaged the Village, the Walrus Male united with the Village Council and brought Sonic back in time for the hedgehog to stop Eggman's army.[14]

The Walrus Male later visited Knuckles while he filled in for Mayor Fink and the echidna approved a permit that let him built a treehouse. At the site though, the Walrus Male ended up in an argument with other villagers who had permits contradicting his.[15] Another time, the Walrus Male came to the premiere of Eggman's movie at Eggman's lair. Amidst the movie, he learned it was meant to enslave the audience with hypnotism, but had failed due to an error. The Walrus Male was thus sent away with the others.[16] Learning later that Sonic had been insensitive by calling Mike the Ox "just a guy", the Walrus Male joined an angry mob of fellow-minded villagers to reprimand Sonic. However, Sonic soon redeemed himself.[17] A while later, the Walrus Male witnessed Dave the Intern's pitiful attempt to use Octopus Bot against Sonic.[18]

The Walrus Male celebrating the New Year with Lady Walrus.

Coming to the New Year's celebration in the Village Center, the Walrus Male shared a dance with Lady Walrus. While dancing, Eggman used his Slow Motion Machine to slow down time long enough for him to beat Sonic in something before New Year, though the Walrus Male did not notice Eggman's victory as it happened too fast for him to see it.[19] The Walrus Male later came to Meh Burger and afterwards had a laugh from watching Tails do a dance.[20] He would likewise stop by in the Village Center to watch Bro-Down Showdown live for a while.[21] Reading the news later on, the Walrus Male learned Knuckles had become a celebrity for a trash can trend. He thus showered the echidna with admiration and adoration during his time of fame.[22] Another time, the Walrus Male joined a tour of Eggman's lair where he, to his shock, saw Sonic being accused of stealing Eggman's Particle Accelerator.[23]

The Walrus Male later came to the Robot Battle Royale, where he saw Eggman steal Tails' Hypnobot at the end.[24] Then, when a heatwave hit Seaside Island, the Walrus Male stayed comfortable by chatting at Meh Burger.[25] Following that, he would come to Puppy Con, where he witnessed Eggman's fruitless attempt to steal a rare playing piece.[26] Following another visit at Meh Burger,[27] the Walrus Male, along with the rest of the Village got attacked by Eggman's new Obliterator Bot which Team Sonic quickly stopped, earning them the Greatest Role Model of All Time Award.[28] As a new supervillain later arose, the Walrus Male would pay him no mind while having lunch.[29]

While subtly hypnotized by Dreamcaster's TV broadcasts, the Walrus Male angrily faced Sticks when she disturbed him with her unlikely story about Dreamcaster on TV. The Walrus Male soon after became Dr. Eggman's zombie slave, who had him and the hypnotized villagers build a world-controlling satellite. He would later attack Sticks when she came to the rescue, but was freed when Team Sonic foiled Eggman's plan.[36] When Tails later made a Village defense against Eggman, the Walrus Male would praise the fox at his trophy ceremony until Eggman arrived through a hole in the defense. With Tails' defense backfiring while Eggman was stopped, the Walrus Male joined the villagers scorning Tails afterward.[37]

After voting at the referendum however, which Eggman used to get elected as Village leader, the Walrus Male kept away from Eggman's attempt to destroy the Village.

He thus came to the Lightning Bowlers' next public appearance as the team rose to stardom.[47] When local gossip soon after revealed that Dr. Eggman was no doctor, the Walrus Male began seeing him as a joke. He thus joined the villagers in mocking Eggman during the scientist's next trip to the Village, although Eggman soon got a real doctorate.[3] When T.W. Barker later acquired a "haunted lair", the Walrus went to visit it. However, he forwent the lair when he heard Eggman, who got tossed out of the lair, rant about it being a hoax.[48]

Back in the Village, the Walrus Male came under attack by Cubot when the latter went nuts and gained new gravity powers. Although Amy tried to help him when he got caught in the grasp of Cubot's gravity powers, the Walrus Male soon got taken towards space by Cubot. While Walrus Male was brought down to earth again by Sonic and Tails before he died from asphyxia, he nearly got crushed by the increased gravity eminating from Cubot's gravity device. Thankfully, he was saved when Knuckles smashed the device.[49] The Walrus Male would wander around the Village and visit Meh Burger a few times after that, before going to a soccer match between Team Sonic and Team Cybonic that would decide the closed rec center's fate. When Team Sonic won, Mayor Fink declared that the rec center would be reopened at the cost of the library, much to the Walrus Male's joy.[50] He soon after almost got lured into a scam by T.W. Barker had Sonic not intervened. Getting into Scrambler after that, the Walrus Male was able to attend an exclusive promotional event through it.[51] He soon after had a meal at Meh Burger again.[52]
